who live in the Bay area have become familiar
with the station, which in four years has grown

country.
One of the dynamic men behind KTVUts
meteoric rise in the industry is Ward Ingrim
'31. When he and his associates were making
plans to put Channel 2 on the air in 1957, they
were warned by friends and professional ana­
lysts who said: "Therets no room for an inde­
pendent station in the Bay area. The three net­

W ARD INGRIM 131 works will smother you. Youtll go broke. "

... Bay area TV executive In accepting this challenge, Ingrim

risked a solid reputation earned through many
successful years in broadcilosting .. KTVU's po­
sition today has more than borne out this de­
cislon.
After picking up his BS from the Col-
lege of Commerce (now Business Administra-
tion), Ingrim joined KJBS radio in San Fran­
cisco. He moved to KFRC in 1935, and soon
became sale's--marfager. -tnen assista--n:t man-a-;;;-���"'�
ger, and held that post until he entered the Ar-
my Air Force in 1942 as a second lieutenant.
When Major Ingrim shed his uniform three years
later, he to'okapositionas executive and stock­
holder with John Blair & Co. in Chicago and
New York, a station representative firm.

Russians, New Zealanders Get Taste of A merican Fraternity L ife

Foreign visitors to the Berkeley campus have been Nu's guests recently as
part of a program to enrich the chapter house atmosphere and topr,omotethe frater-.
n ity image as a whole.
Two Russians were the chapter's guests for a week in December. The pair,
Karl Khelemyaye, a journalist with Komsomolskaya Pravda, and Yuri Vyasheslav­
tsev, a Soviet chemical engineer, were among six Russians touring the United States
9-s part of the Experiment in Intern.ational Liv ing program,

"He's very good as a forward, II a frater said, I!and as long as he wears the
fraternity's pledge p in, he can play in the game, "
The Russians fulf illed at least one requirement towards pledging. One night
they atten<ied a compulsory house meeting at which the chapter was electing house
officers. They were able to see first-hand an A merican fraternity nominating,
voting, and election system in action,
A ccording to Frater Gary A ndes 164, Yuri and Karl seemed surprised at the
close type of organization w ithin the house. They d id not expect to see the members
share in the work of hashing and cleaning the yard.
When the Russ ia'Q,s concluded their visit, Prytanis Keith McKeag '62 pres�nted
them with mementoe s of their stay. To Karl, the avid basketball fan, went a Cal
swea.tshirt, while Yuri received an engraved Cal cigarette lighter.
"I w ish many more exchanges like this could happen, " Frater McKeag told
the departing guests. "This world would be much better off�1
